detailed description

In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, those of ordinary skill in the art can understand that in each embodiment of the application, many technical details are provided for readers to better understand the application. However, even without these technical details and various changes and modifications based on the following embodiments, the technical solutions claimed in this application can also be realized. The division of the following embodiments is for the convenience of description, and should not constitute any limitation to the specific implementation of the present application, and the embodiments can be combined and referred to each other on the premise of no contradiction.

In some current situations, the application data rate is detected. When the data rate exceeds the threshold, the underlying protocol is allowed to use 5G wireless resources. When it does not exceed the threshold, the 5G wireless resources are released to reduce the power consumption of the terminal.

However, since the rate is judged in a period, it is necessary to confirm the rate drop within a certain period of time before releasing 5G wireless resources. In the actual application process, the last period before releasing 5G wireless resources will have redundant The power consumption of 5G wireless resources. Therefore, judging when to release 5G wireless resources based on the rate is not accurate enough, which will cause additional power consumption.

In addition, under the new generation of multi-connection access traffic guidance, switching and splitting management technology (Acess Traffic Steering, Switching & Splitting, ATSSS), the modem uses multi-channel fusion data transmission in the underlying wireless protocol stack, such as Use 5G and WIFI for data transmission, but the upper system still considers it a wireless data connection, that is, the detected data is the data transmission rate after multi-channel fusion, and the transmission rate of each channel cannot be effectively distinguished. For example, 5G and WIFI cannot be accurately obtained separately The data transfer rate of , so it is impossible to determine the resources that should be released based on the measured rate.

In order to solve the problem that the release timing of 5G wireless resources cannot be accurately grasped in some of the above situations, resulting in extra power consumption and the problem that some situations are not applicable to ATSSS technology, this embodiment provides a resource release method, which can be applied to electronic equipment, such as Tablet computers, notebook computers, mobile phones, etc., are supported by the electronic equipment of this embodiment.

The resource release method in this embodiment includes: monitoring the ATSSS rule currently used by the application in real time; obtaining the data steering mode (steering mode) in the ATSSS rule of the application currently monitored; determining the steering mode according to the data steering mode and network performance. The data transmission channel used by the application; wherein the data transmission channel includes: a 3GPP data transmission channel and/or a non-3GPP data transmission channel; if only a non-3GPP data transmission channel is used, the 5G wireless resources occupied by the application are released.

Compared with judging whether to release 5G wireless resources by speed measurement, the resource release method in this embodiment can be applied to electronic devices such as terminals supporting ATSSS technology. The guidance mode determines the data transmission channel currently used by the application in real time, so that the usage of 5G wireless resources can be obtained, and the timing of 5G wireless resource release can be accurately judged to avoid additional power consumption. In addition, the embodiments of the application only use non-3GPP When the data transmission channel is used, the 5G wireless resources are released, and then the 5G wireless resources can be released in a timely manner while meeting the user and application data transmission performance, such as data bandwidth and delay requirements, so that the terminal can save power.

Referring to FIG. 1 , the implementation details of the resource release method in this embodiment will be specifically described below. The following content is only implementation details provided for easy understanding, and is not necessary for implementing this solution.

Step 101, monitor the ATSSS rule currently used by the application in real time.

Among them, ATSSS technology is an important technology introduced by the 5G protocol. ATSSS technology can enable communication terminals to use the third generation partnership project (3rd Generation Partnership Project, 3GPP) access technology, for example: long term evolution (Long Term Evolution, LTE) corresponding 4G, 5G corresponding to New Radio (NR), and non-3GPP access technologies, such as WIFI corresponding to Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN).

In the ATSSS technology, the terminal can use the ATSSS rules to implement path optimization, seamless handover, and multi-path concurrency of MA (Multi-Access, multiple access) services, so as to improve user experience. The included functions of the ATSSS technology are as follows.

1. Path optimization (Steering): Select the optimal network by measuring bandwidth and delay.

2. Seamless switching (Switching): Realize wireless data connection, such as smooth switching between 4G network, 5G network and wifi connection, to avoid data flow stuttering.

3. Multi-channel concurrency (Splitting): Data transmission is split into wireless data connections, such as 4G network, 5G network and wifi connection, to achieve common transmission of two-way connection fusion.

Referring to Figure 2, the implementation of ATSSS technology requires the introduction of related protocol entities on the communication terminal and the network side, and the terminal can register to the 5G network through the Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) and establish multiple access Protocol data unit ((Multi-Access Protocol Data Unit, MA PDU), MA PDU session can include multiple data transmission channels, for example, MA PDU session includes: 3GPP data transmission channel and non-3GPP data transmission channel, in the user On the other hand, communication terminals can access the user plane function (User Plane Function, UPF) of the 5G core network on the network side through 3GPP data transmission channels and non-3GPP data transmission channels. UPF realizes data fusion and acts as a gateway to forward data to the Internet. For any address, the 5G core network session management function (Session Management Function, SMF) on the network side issues ATSSS rules to UPF and communication terminals, and the communication terminals and network UPF implement ATSSS rules to transmit data.

In this embodiment, before the terminal monitors and applies the currently used ATSSS rule in real time, the terminal needs to first establish a MA PDU session with the network side and receive the ATSSS rule issued by the network side.

In some embodiments, after receiving the ATSSS rule issued by the network side, the ATSSS rule is identified according to the data guidance mode of the ATSSS rule; wherein, the ATSSS rule identified by the first flag indicates that the application preferentially uses only For non-3GPP data transmission channels, the ATSSS rule identified by the second flag indicates that the data transmission channel used by the application needs to be determined in conjunction with network delay, and the ATSSS rule identified by the third flag indicates that the application preferentially uses only the 3GPP data transmission channel.

Among them, the data steering mode (steering mode) is the information carried by the ATSSS rule stipulated in the 3GPP protocol, which can specify the data transmission channel used by the terminal, including the following four modes.

Active-standby mode (Active-Standby): Set one data transmission channel as the main channel active access, and the other data transmission channel as the standby channel standby access. The data flow is carried out on the active access. If the data flow of the active access fails, In case of network congestion, etc., the data flow is switched to standby access. For example: the data transmission channel includes: 3GPP data transmission channel and non-3GPP data transmission channel, the 3GPP data transmission channel is set as the main channel, and the non-3GPP data transmission channel is set as the backup data transmission channel, then the data flow is prioritized in the 3GPP data transmission channel Unless the 3GPP data transmission channel fails, such as network congestion, etc., the non-3GPP data transmission channel is used for transmission.

Minimum delay mode (Smallest Delay): The data flow is allocated to the data connection with the minimum delay, and the ATSSS module will detect the delay of the data path and use the data connection with the minimum delay. For example, if the delay of the 3GPP data transmission channel is shorter than that of the non-3GPP data transmission channel, the 3GPP data transmission channel is used.

Load-Balancing mode (Load-Balancing): The data flow will be distributed on the 3GPP connection and the non-3GPP connection in proportion, and the two routes will be used at the same time, and they will be used in proportion. For example, when downloading a large application, 50% of the data flow is allocated to the 3GPP data transmission channel for transmission, and 50% of the data flow is allocated to the non-3GPP data transmission channel for transmission.

Priority-based: The data flow will be assigned to a high-priority data connection path, and if the connection is congested, it will switch to a low-priority data connection path. For example, if the 3GPP data transmission channel is a high-priority transmission channel, the data flow is allocated to the 3GPP data transmission channel.

For example, the following is a data steering mode that preferentially uses only non-3GPP data transmission channels, but is not limited thereto.

Adopt Active-standby mode, wherein, the main mode is a non-3GPP data transmission channel, no standby mode (Active non-3GPP and no standby), or the main mode is a non-3GPP data transmission channel, and the standby mode is a 3GPP data transmission channel (Active non- -3GPP and 3GPP standby).

Priority based mode is adopted, in which the non-3GPP data transmission channel is a high priority data transmission channel (non-3GPP is high priority access).

Adopt Load balancing mode, in which, the non-3GPP data transmission channel transmits 100% data, and the 3GPP data transmission channel transmits 0% data (0% over 3GPP and 100% over non-3GPP).

If the first flag is 1, the ATSSS rule including the above-mentioned data guidance strategy means that the application preferentially uses only non-3GPP data transmission channels, and the ATSSS rule can be marked as 1.

The data transmission channel used in the following characterization needs to be combined with the data guidance mode determined by the network delay, but is not limited thereto.

Use Load balancing mode, where the ratio of data streams between non-3GPP data transmission channels and 3GPP data transmission channels is not 0, for example: 10% of data streams pass through 3GPP data transmission channels, and 90% of data streams pass through non-3GPP data transmission channels transmission.

Adopt Smallest delay mode.

If the second flag is 2, the ATSSS rule including the above-mentioned data guidance strategy, that is, the data transmission channel used by the representative application needs to be determined in combination with the network delay, and the ATSSS rule can be marked as 2.

The following are the data guidance modes that preferentially only use the 3GPP data transmission channels for transmission, but are not limited thereto.

Active-standby mode is adopted, where the main mode is a 3GPP data transmission channel and no standby mode (Active 3GPP and no standby), or the main mode is a 3GPP data transmission channel, and the standby mode is a non-3GPP data transmission channel (Active 3GPP and non- 3GPP standby).

Adopt Load balancing mode, in which, 3GPP data transmission channel transmits 100% data, and non-3GPP data transmission channel transmits 0% data (100% over 3GPP and 0% over non-3GPP rules).

If the third flag is 3, the data transmission channel used by the application in the ATSSS rule table identified by the third flag preferentially uses only the 3GPP data transmission channel.

The specific signs listed above are 1, 2, and 3 as examples, which can be set according to specific requirements in practical applications, and are not limited in this embodiment.

In this embodiment, after the ATSSS rule table is issued on the network side, the ATSSS rule table is marked, so that when detecting the ATSSS rule table used by the application, the priority channel defined in the ATSSS rule can be quickly obtained through the mark, so that it can be more Quickly determine whether 5G wireless resources can be released, improve efficiency, and further increase the timeliness of releasing 5G wireless resources.

Step 102: Determine the data transmission channel used by the application according to the data guidance mode and network performance in the currently monitored ATSSS rule. Wherein, the data transmission channel includes: a 3GPP data transmission channel and/or a non-3GPP data transmission channel. Network performance includes whether the current network is available, network delay, network speed, etc. Whether the network is available can be determined by detecting whether the network is congested or not.

In some embodiments, if the ATSSS rule does not have an identifier, then obtain the data guidance mode in the ATSSS rule table, if the data guidance mode indicates that only non-3GPP data transmission channels are used preferentially, and the network performance is available for non-3GPP data transmission channels, then apply The data transmission channel used is a non-3GPP data transmission channel; the data guidance mode indicates that only the 3GPP data transmission channel is used preferentially, and the network performance is that the 3GPP data transmission channel is available, then the data transmission channel used by the application, if the data guidance mode indicates that the delay is the lowest If there is no data transmission channel, the data transmission channel used by the application is determined according to the delay of the data transmission channel. If the data guidance mode is load balancing and the data flow ratio value is not 0, the application uses both 3GPP data transmission channel and non-3GPP data transmission channel.

In some other embodiments, if there is an identifier of the ATSSS rule determined according to the data guidance policy, the data transmission channel used by the application is determined according to the identifier of the ATSSS rule and the network performance of each data transmission channel.

For example, when running the ATSSS rule identified as the first flag, and the non-3GPP data transmission channel is available, the application only uses the non-3GPP data transmission channel; when running the ATSSS rule marked as the second flag, combined with network delay or network Determine the data transmission channel used for rate determination, for example, the data guidance mode is Smallest delay, measure the delay of the 3GPP data transmission channel and the delay of the non-3GPP data transmission channel, if the current non-3GPP delay is low, only the 3GPP data transmission channel is currently used, When running the ATSSS rule identified as the third flag, only the 3GPP data transmission channel is currently used.

Step 103, if only non-3GPP data transmission channels are used, release the 5G radio resources occupied by the application.

In some embodiments, if the application not only uses a non-3GPP data transmission channel, for example, the ATSSS operation rule identified as the second flag is currently used, that is, the current data guidance mode is the load balancing mode, and the 3GPP of the load balancing mode If the ratio value of the channel and the non-3GPP channel is not 0, then it is determined that the data transmission channel used by the application is a 3GPP data transmission channel and a non-3GPP data transmission channel; The transmission rate is to obtain the estimated transmission rate of the 4G data transmission channel; if the transmission rate of the 3GPP data transmission channel is lower than the estimated transmission rate, release the 5G wireless resources. The calculated transmission rate of the 3GPP data transmission channel in this embodiment corresponds to the transmission rate of the 5G data transmission channel, and the estimated transmission rate of the 4G data transmission channel, that is, the theoretical value of the 4G data transmission channel is greater than that of the 5G data transmission channel. The transmission rate of the channel indicates that the application occupies 4G wireless resources, and transmission through the 4G data transmission channel can also meet the transmission rate requirements. Therefore, 5G wireless resources can be released. On the one hand, it reduces the consumption of 5G wireless resources for terminals. On the other hand, due to the small traffic configuration of the 3GPP data transmission channel, data transmission through 4G in the 3GPP channel can also meet the application's demand for network performance, thereby further meeting the needs of users and applications for data bandwidth and delay. At the same time, release 5G resources as quickly as possible to achieve the purpose of terminal power saving.

In some other embodiments, as shown in FIG. 3 , step 301 , step 302 , and step 305 are substantially the same as the above-mentioned step 201 , step 202 , and step 203 , and will not be repeated here. In this embodiment, it is also necessary to detect the application power to determine whether the power is higher than the preset threshold. As shown in FIG. Execute, and then store the judgment result for subsequent use.

Step 303 is executed after step 302 is completed.

Step 303 is executed to determine whether the power is higher than a preset threshold. When the power is lower than the preset threshold, step 304 is performed, and when the power is higher than the preset threshold, step 305 is performed.

In some embodiments, if the power is lower than the threshold, the terminal judges to enter the low-power mode, and the terminal provides a message notification interface to notify the terminal to enter the low-power mode, which will reduce the use of 5G physical network resources, and provide a control interface for the user to choose to allow, Still not allowed. You can also refer to Figure 4 to provide power-saving related settings for users to choose, so that the power-saving mode is more in line with user needs and improves user experience.

Step 304: If the data transmission channel used by the application includes a 3GPP data transmission channel, switch the data transmission channel used by the application to only use a non-3GPP data transmission channel. After step 304 is executed, step 305 is executed.

In some embodiments, if the battery power is lower than the threshold, the white list of 5G power saving applications is read, and the applications in the white list can use 5G wireless resources without being affected by 5G power saving. Detecting whether the application is in the white list; the white list is an application that is set to allow the use of the 3GPP data transmission channel when the power is lower than the threshold; if the application is not in the white list, the application Switch the data transmission channel to use only non-3GPP data transmission channel. In this embodiment, by setting a white list, some applications can also use 5G in low battery mode, which fits the user's usage habits and improves the user experience.

In some embodiments, the ATSSS rule of the application is updated, wherein the updated ATSSS rule indicates that the application only uses the non-3GPP data transmission channel; the updated ATSSS rule is sent to the network side for The network side updates according to the updated ATSSS rule; after receiving the ATSSS rule update success message from the network side, selects the data transmission channel used by the application according to the updated ATSSS rule.

Considering that when it is detected that the current ATSSS rule is a rule that only uses 3GPP data transmission channels, if the terminal directly releases 5G wireless resources, the data link still uses 3GPP. Therefore, even if the wifi rate is better, the application still uses 4G or 4G. 3G network, and will not use the WIFI network of the traditional channel of 3GPP data. Therefore, this embodiment updates the ATSSS rules, so that the updated ATSS rules only use non-3GPP data transmission channels, thereby improving user experience. In addition, compared to using both channels, the power saving effect is better. By modifying the ATSSS rules, a good balance between power saving and performance can be achieved.

In some embodiments, if the data guidance mode in the ATSSS rule is a load balancing mode, then update the data transmission ratio of the 3GPP data transmission channel and the non-3GPP data transmission channel in the load balancing mode to 0:1; If the data guidance mode in the ATSSS rule is the main-standby mode, then the main data transmission channel in the main-standby mode is updated to a non-3GPP data transmission channel; if the data guidance mode in the ATSSS rule is priority In the priority mode, the high-priority data transmission channel in the priority mode is updated to a non-3GPP data transmission channel. Compared with modifying the entire data guidance mode, such as modifying the load balancing mode to a priority mode of a non-3GPP data transmission channel, the amount of modification in this embodiment is small, because the data guidance mode of the ATSSS rule is related to the application's requirements for network performance. Therefore, the influence of the application on the network performance requirement is reduced, and the power consumption of the terminal is reduced as much as possible on the basis of satisfying the application's requirement on the network performance.

In some embodiments, if the data guiding mode is the minimum delay mode, only measure the delay of the non-3GPP data transmission channel; determine the non-3GPP data transmission channel as the minimum delay data transmission channel. In this embodiment, when the data guidance mode is the minimum delay mode, only the delay of the non-3GPP data transmission channel is measured, so that the 3GPP data transmission channel does not participate in the measurement, so the channel measured by the minimum delay mode will be 3GPP data transmission channel, enabling the transmission of data only over non-3GPP data transmission channels.

For example, if the data guidance mode adopts the Load balancing mode, and the ratio value of the 3GPP data transmission channel in the set data flow ratio value is not 0, for example: 10% of the data flow is transmitted by the 3GPP data transmission channel, and 90% of the data flow is transmitted by the Non-3GPP data transmission channel transmission (10% over 3GPP and 90% over non-3GPP), modify the data guidance mode to use 0% data flow to be transmitted by 3GPP data transmission channel, and 100% data flow to be transmitted by non-3GPP data transmission channel (0% over 3GPP and 100% over non-3GPP).

If the Smallest delay mode is used, the delay measurement of the 3GPP data transmission channel is turned off, and only the delay measurement of the non-3GPP data transmission channel is performed.

If the Active-standby mode is used, the main channel is a 3GPP data transmission channel and there is no standby channel (Active 3GPP and no standby), or the main channel is a 3GPP data transmission channel and the standby channel is a non-3GPP data transmission channel (Active 3GPP and non -3GPP standby), then modify the data guidance mode to use the main channel to use the non-3GPP data transmission channel, and there is no backup channel Active non-3GPP and no standby.

Step 305, if only non-3GPP data transmission channels are used, release the 5G radio resources occupied by the application. In this embodiment, by detecting the power threshold, when the battery power of the terminal mobile phone is higher than the preset threshold, 5G wireless resources are released without affecting the user's rate experience, saving power consumption; By using 5G wireless resources, the power consumption of the terminal can be reduced as much as possible and the standby time can be extended.

In this embodiment, through the ATSSS rule used for real-time monitoring applications, when the power is greater than the threshold, analyze and judge whether 5G needs to be used currently, if not, release the 5G wireless resources, and enter the power saving mode when the power is less than the threshold, if Use the 3GPP data transmission channel to transmit data, switch it to a non-3GPP data transmission channel, and modify the ATSSS rules to guide the terminal to use a non-3GPP data transmission channel, such as WiFi connection, instead of directly releasing 5G wireless resources, resulting in downgrading to 4G network, 3G network or 2G network, reducing user experience. This embodiment enables the terminal to use 5G wireless resources as much as possible when needed, and release 5G wireless resources at precise timing to save power consumption, which can take into account user experience and achieve power saving purposes. .

In other embodiments, when the power is higher than the threshold, if only non-3GPP data transmission channels are used, or the transmission rate of the 3GPP data transmission channel is lower than the estimated transmission rate of 4G, 5G wireless resources are released, so that the mobile phone Under normal power conditions, power consumption can be saved without affecting the user experience; when the power level is lower than the preset threshold, the data transmission channel of the application is switched to only a non-3GPP data transmission channel, so that the 5G can be released as quickly as possible Resources, to achieve the purpose of terminal power saving, and real-time monitoring of ATSSS rules to determine whether to release, can accurately control the timing of 5G wireless resource release, and avoid additional power consumption.

During implementation, it can be combined into one step or some steps can be split and decomposed into multiple steps. As long as they include the same logical relationship, they are all within the scope of protection of this patent. ; Adding insignificant modifications or introducing insignificant designs to the algorithm or process, but not changing the core design of the algorithm and process are all within the scope of protection of this patent.
